Man arrested after woman injured during Saturday crash

SAN ANGELO — A man was arrested and booked into the Tom Green County Jail on Saturday morning after a crash led to multiple injuries to a female passenger, according to an arrest affidavit.

San Angelo police officers responded to the crash at 1:45 a.m. March 2, 2019 on 625 Rio Concho Drive. An officer was told by a witness that the driver fled from the scene.

Officers later located the driver near Roosevelt Street and Rio Concho Drive, where the officer found him with "slurred speech, a lack of balance control and the odor of alcohol coming from his breath," the affidavit states.

After a breathalyzer test, it was determined the driver had a blood alcohol content between 0.136 and 0.138, which is well over the legal limit of 0.08.

The female passenger was taken to Shannon Medical Center after the crash and was treated for "broken toes on her left foot and a broken right arm," the affidavit states.

She told the officer she asked the driver to stop due to his condition, but he refused. She then rolled down her window and yelled for help, which angered the driver, causing him to speed up and drive off the road, the affidavit states.

Casey Jurgens, 31, was arrested on suspicion of evading arrest detention, no driver's license and intoxication assault with a vehicle with serious bodily injury, which is a third-degree felony. As of 3:41 p.m. Monday, he remained in Tom Green County Jail with a bond of $15,944.
